Hiruko Shizuhara

Hiruko Shizuhara is a tall, domineering young woman of great intellectual and martial prowess. She's pragmatic, distinctly logical rather than emotional, and she holds herself in high regard. Hiruko only speaks when she has a reason to and is disdainful of small talk, choosing to keep many things about herself a secret. Hiruko has a strong, fat figure flowing with soft curves, which she is very proud of. She prefers being heavy to being light and harshly admonishes disrespect towards her body.

Hiruko is a confident, taciturn young woman with no patience for conjecture or wasting time. As a member of the Special Defense Unit tasked with defending the Last Defense Academy from invaders, she is quick to use an authoritative tone of voice, projecting more composure and assuredness than most of her combat-inexperienced allies can muster. She is eager to engage in combat, as the rush of a life-or-death contest is a sorely welcome departure from the sterile and boring life she once led. Although forceful, Hiruko does care for her allies and makes for a steadfast advisor capable of keeping someone's head in the game during times of strife.

Hiruko was born and raised inside the Tokyo Residential Complex, a sprawling, fully enclosed society that simulates day and night using an array of lights affixed to its dome ceiling. There, everyone is content, living regular, mundane lives and obeying orders sounded over the loudspeakers on every street corner unquestioningly. Frequently, announcements are made instructing residents to take cover inside dedicated shelters, which is so ingrained in their culture that no one thinks anything of it. Unbeknownst to the citizens, hulking monsters resembling disfigured stuffed animals routinely attempt to besiege the complex. One day, Hiruko, disillusioned by the monotony of life inside the complex, discovered the attacks after disobeying the warning given to hide. From then on, she dedicated herself to becoming strong enough to contend against the invaders in melee combat. Taking sadistic pleasure in the act of striking down an enemy, she revels in the beauty she perceives in brutality.

In the midst of a sudden, particularly devastating attack by the Invaders, Hiruko was whisked off by a small, round, ghost-like being on two legs named Sirei to the Last Defense Academy. She was instructed that, alongside her fourteen other classmates, she was entrusted with the responsibility of defending the school from the invaders and that the fate of all humanity hinged on their success. With invaders arriving around once a week, they are tasked with defending it for one hundred days straight.

The building, while high-tech, is entirely isolated from the outside world, and with just its fifteen troops occupying it, they're reliant on the mysterious hemoanima supplied to them by Sirei to defend it. Hemoanima is a blood-based power activated by taking a special Hetamorphic Infusion Blade to one's chest, which replaces their blood with hemoanima and affords them special weapons and armor unique to them. Hiruko's hemoanima produces a black-and-white seifuku school uniform and a threateningly large battle axe she wields with one hand.

Hiruko stands at five feet and eleven inches, exceptionally tall, and weighs two hundred and seventy pounds. She has long, waist-length dark purple hair, red eyes, ghostly pale skin, and wears glasses. Her outfit accentuates her voluptuous figure, her long, split-hem black dress parting to reveal her right leg, and her short black jacket clinging tight to her chest. She wears heeled black boots and accessorizes with a black choker along with golden ear piercings and a grey wristband.
